Pet care experience
Hello! I have been blessed with dogs in my life for over 30 years. All but one have been rescues. ( That makes 12 !) My husband and I live on 15+ acres with our Aussie Shepherd Oscar and Rain our Shih Tzu Pomerainian and we have Molly ,our farm guard dogs (Heated garage with their own doggie door and are outside dogs only) We also have Ginger the cat. Pretty much stays away from guest dogs... unless they like her. ;) Our warm and loving home is your dog's home! Not a big place but we're happy close together! No crates or kennels... unless you prefer them. I do have rugs down everywhere so there's no slipping for our seniors, both canine and human. ;) Your sweetie/s will live inside our home as part of the family while you're away! They can have their own room, couch or sofa or just sleep with us, if that's what they want!! We have a large fenced property to go for walks and playing fetch. I naturally am very protective of our own dogs so aggressive behaviors will not be tolerated. For multiple doggie families, we do have an 'apartment" attached to our shop if so needed. Lots of fun farm scents for them to explore!! We operate a small All- natural cow/calf family farm. My husband is also a crop farmer so we are never far from home!! Our special guests are protected, loved and supervised almost 24/7 while in our care. When away, we take every precaution to ensure their happiness and safety. We follow your directions and wishes to a "T" so your best friend's happiness and routines are as close to home as possible. Please contact me for customized quotes. I'd love to take care of your dogs and you! Note: We live in the country south of Hayfield, 35 min. from Rochester, 20 min. from Austin. Pick up and delivery available if needed. **Specific drop off and pick up times must be set before reserving. 9:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. preferred hours. ***Stays based on a 24 hour basis. (ie: 10 am - 10 am. If pick up is more than two hours after this time period, it will be an extra fee of $20
Reviews
What a great experience. Wullie, our 6-year old Labradoodle, enjoyed a 10-day vacation at Dondee’s house. When we arrived to Dondee’s home, Wullie jumped out of the car and never looked back. There was so much room to run, so many other animals to meet, he had a blast. Dondee sent us photos and videos of Wullie everyday showing him running in the fields, playing with other dogs, and having a great pet vacation. We will definitely book again! Thank you Dondee for taking such great care of Wullie!
Another wonderful doggie vacation at Dondees!
I completely echo the positive reviews from Dondee’s other happy pet parents! Wilson was so well-cared for and we received plenty of updates and cute pictures throughout his stay. He played so much with Dondee’s puppy, Rain, that he had too much fun to miss us. We returned home with a very happy (and tired) pup!
Another wonderful vacation for Pup at Dondee’s!
